That means this product only supports vB 5.2.x, any versions above it are not guaranteed. Also you have no right to complain about free mod. This vB5 just do not support writing modifications, so you can't expect developers spend time and money to update it for free. Would you do it for free? If you paid for the mod you can ask for it on their site.

I'm no related to DBTech, but I just find it amusing to see people keep complaining about mods aren't working for their vB5 without understanding that vB5 do not have many mods. You choose vB5 and you have to live with it, or paid for custom work.

dbTech left several of my clients stuck when they abandoned this project. When you spend time and your clients spend money to have a specific product and then the product for which they paid is no longer viable because the developers don't want to deal with software-specific issues it means you have to come up with alternative solutions for your clients at your own expense. If dbTech didn't want to deal with the issues this software presents they never should have developed products for it in the first place. They didn't develop several products first and then discover the software had issues. They knew the software had issues and developed products regardless, products for which customers paid in many cases. At least one prominent vBulletin 5 customer who spent a small fortune on the product and modifications recently abandoned it for a competing product, in no small part because the premium dbTech modifications he purchased do not work as advertised.

So, when you tell us that we should not complain about "free" modifications that do not work I tell you we have every right to complain. If you leave customers stuck over personal issues over which you have full control you deserve a negative reputation. Even refunding the money of paid clients does not resolve their need for functional products, which is specifically why they paid for those products in the first place. A lot of customers were left stuck and people like myself were left to explain to my clients why products I once recommended highly were a complete waste of their money. Try following that conversation with one about how they need to spend more money for another product or other products.

I can hardly wait until they get their knickers in a knot over the software they seem to be currently in love with and abandon those customers. It's going to happen. They just want to crank out half-assed products as quickly as possible for volume sales. Once the sales slow or stop they move on to the next product. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
